FORMULAS REQUIRED

The following formulas are embedded in the template to ensure real-time data integrity and reporting:

• =IF(End_Time="","", End_Time - Start_Time): Calculates task duration in hours or minutes (can be converted via formatting).
• =TEXT(Dur, "0.0"): Formats the duration to show decimal values (e.g., 1.5 for 1 hour and 30 minutes).

• Purple Highlight (High Priority Tasks): When Priority = "Urgent" or "High".
• Red Background (Delayed Tasks): If Status = "Delayed" and Duration > average duration for the same department.
• Green Background (Completed Tasks): For tasks marked as "Completed" with no delays.
• Yellow Highlight: If a task has been pending over 7 days (based on Date column).
